Interest in London HR jobs soars
HR and administration jobs are attracting substantial interest as online search volume for jobs in London soared by 10 per cent from 550,000 in March to 673,000 in June, according to latest statistics from Greenlight.
The agency’s latest data suggests candidates are becoming more open-minded about the future direction of their career – in fact the search term ‘career advice’ jumped dramatically from 14,800 searches in March to 1 million in June – and it seems HR is a popular career to explore for many.
Simon Hollingsworth, the lead researcher at Greenlight, believes there’s a simple explanation:
“The surge in career advice may likely be explained by the influx of recent graduates researching career information online.
“In addition, the recession, which resulted in job losses, has seen people look to pursue new career paths and acquire skills enabling them to apply for roles beyond those they have traditionally worked in.”
And it seems the HR and administration sector has been one of the major beneficiaries of searches – coming second on the list after retail and sales. Construction and engineering was third.
